Mentorship News
Eight Extraordinary Vessels & Complementary Channels (8EVC) Mentorship Cohort 2 began October 2024!
Congratulations to the students of Cohort 2 for launching their Eight Extraordinary Vessels & Complementary Channels (8EVC) mentorship program! Module 1 – The Sinews was held October 04 – 06, 2024!
The 8EVC mentorship program: Dive deep into the pathophysiology, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the extraordinary vessels and complementary channels in this in-person only, unique learning experience. The system is Classical and Channel Theory acupuncture, and is taught by Dr. Yvonne Farrell, DAOM, LAc, a student of Master Jeffrey Yuen.
“Every now and then, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity presents itself. This was one of those opportunities and I will cherish it for the rest of my life and beyond. That’s just me, but if we include the impact on patients and their transformed lives affecting their spheres of influence, the ripples will go on and on to bring love and light far beyond the mentorship. Thank you, Yvonne, for sharing your life, and Sonia, for making this opportunity available.” – 8EVC Cohort 1 graduate.
Cohort 3 of the 8EVC Mentorship program begins in October 2026. Applications will be available on June 1, 2026.
Balance System Acupuncture Practitioner Certificate Mentorship Cohort 5 began September 2024
We are equally excited for Cohort 5 (!) of the Balance System Acupuncture Practitioner (BSAP) certificate mentorship that began with Level 3 – Channel Conversion in September!
The BSAP certificate mentorship program: Balance System Acupuncture, an evolution of the Balance Method and an application of Channel Theory acupuncture, known for instant results! The system is rooted in the ancient classics of Acupuncture, the Nei Jing, and is based on healing the body by balancing channels and holography. Improve the efficiency of your clinical outcomes, including internal medicine, achieve confidence with a mentorship program, hybrid delivery format, and elevate your practice!
“Balance System Acupuncture totally transformed my practice. THIS is what we should learn in school to be able to practice with efficacy.” – BSAP Cohort 2 graduate
Cohort 6 of the BSA Certificate Mentorship program begins in September 2025. Applications will be available on June 1, 2025.
Note! Next BSA Foundations coming February 28 – March 1, 2025! Spread the word and stay tuned for registration details.
